Manometric evaluation of gastrointestinal motility in a case of megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS).
[megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome]
We
report
on
a
manometric
study
of
the
esophagus
,
stomach
,
duodenum
,
jejunum
and
anorectum
in
a
case
of
megacystis-
microcolon
-
intestinal
hypoperistalsis
syndrome
(
MMIHS
)
.
An
esophageal
examination
showed
normal
esophageal
contractions
and
a
positive
rectoanal
reflex
was
obtained
in
an
anorectal
manometry
.
However
,
the
continuous
fasting
manometric
recording
of
the
antrum
,
duodenum
and
jejunum
lasting
a
total
of
12
hours
revealed
a
severe
motility
disturbance
of
the
gastrointestinal
tract
.
During
the
examination
a
band
of
low
amplitude
contractions
was
observed
in
the
antrum
only
once
and
it
was
followed
by
small
rhythmic
contractions
of
the
duodenum
,
but
none
of
propagated
or
spontaneous
contractions
were
seen
in
the
jejunum
.
